Hey, thanks for the replies! I definitely understand there are a few risks involved with raw foods, but I feel the healthier I got from eating those foods would prime my body better for defense against such risks. Obviously not ALL the risks, but some

I was thinking of just some red meats, organ meats and eggs to start. I'll also be making some different kimchi's, so they might help make it somewhat more palatable at first.  I'm still out on the high meat, I don't know that I could be in a relationship and keep rotting meat in the fridge lol.
I think I'll have to start with a percentage, say, 20% raw food and add 5-10% per week up to 100.
A bit about myself: My name is Jason, I live in Vancouver, Wa with my girlfriend. I am a fat personal trainer (sounds oxymoronic) so, obviously I don't get many clients
I am formerly a boxer, powerlifter and armwrestler. Started boxing again and am looking to go more towards a leaner, quicker, more powerful body type more like Stephen Amell(Oliver Queen)
Being the fat slow guy isn't fun anymore.

Hello! This forum looks great!

I love the paleo diet because it makes amazing sense. I have often thought about how our ancestors probably didn't stand over the campfire cooking a whole lot.  My thoughts wandered to us being more scavengers than hunters and that if we ate meat, it was more likely to be food left behind by bears and such
This lead me to search for raw meat and other raw foods and how they affect health.
I am very excited to try a lot of raw foods, but I am hesitant about the high meat and other raw meat variations. Plus, raw eggs etc.

Now, I have an actual question, is there an easy way to start? I know tastes and textures may be an issue at first, so does anyone have any starter tips (ie, mixing eggs into raw milk or cream/blending them into water?)
Also, does pickling count as raw?
Again, the site looks awesome, I hope to learn a lot.
